Summary
Researchers used thin polymer films as a controlled model system to study the early-stage physical and chemical processes by which plastics form microplastics, including surface cracking, fragmentation, and chemical degradation. The model provides mechanistic insight into how microplastics are generated from plastic waste in the environment.
